Operations in very hot areas
In very hot days, continuous running to the machine will cause
overheat. Make sure to monitor the engine temperature and
stop the machine to allow it to cool down when needed.
Under high temperature, the dirt inside the cooling system will
accumulate faster. Change antifreeze yearly to maintain the
resistance to corrosion.
Flush the cooling system regularly to keep its pipes clean.
Avoid the use of highly alkaline water; to prevent easier
formation of dirt and rust inside the pipes.
Check the electrolyte level daily. In a high-temperature
environment, use less concentrated electrolytes. Dilute the
electrolyte with specific gravity of 1.280 (unit missing) into that
with specific gravity of 1.200~1.240 (missing unit), and then
charge it fully.
Recharge the battery whenever reading of specific gravity
reaches 1.160 (missing unit). If stored for a longer time under
high temperature, the battery will discharge automatically at
high rate.
Do not store acid batteries near large numbers of tires as the
acid gases will do harm to the rubber.
Lubricate according to "Lubricants and Maintenance Schedule"
or the lubrication labels attached on the machine.
When parking for an extended period of time, do it below a
shelter to prevent exposure to sunlight, dirt and dust.
If no appropriate covering is available, use a canvas to prevent
dust from entering the engine or the hydraulic system.
 In hot and humid climate, the machine components will
corrode faster, especially during the rainy season.
 Rust and paint bubbles will build up on metal surfaces and
spots may appear on other components' surfaces, too.
Apply corrosion resistant lubricant on unpainted or exposed
surfaces.
Protect onductors and terminals with insulating mixture.
Apply paint or appropriate antirust materials on damaged surfaces to
prevent the rust from spreading.
